Vol 3 Chapter 4 (2/2)

two mere bald monkeys, fufuAnd the final battleIs a coin toss——

hahaha!”

Miko placed her hand on her waist, laughing untilshe started having

difficulties breathing, her :

——this is interesting, since I don't have an escape route anymore

The opponents were humans, the only race whom they had the chance to win

against

And the game they picked, was actuallyCoin toss

No matter what kind of cheats they used, with her Werebeast's five senses,

she could detect it

Furthermore, she was allowed to choose first, the side that she liked

——very interesting

Ifshe lost even with these circumstances Since no matter whatThe Eastern

Union's fate was destruction

Miko formed a proud smile and said:

”Fine, we'll use that game”

Sora happily looked at her

As if——watching a comrade

”Sure enough, you belong to [Our side], I like this”

”My request is——the guarantee to the Werebeasts' rights, autonomy and the

usage of their resources”

The challenger wasMiko, her request e, or it'll be

asking for a rejection

High-risk, loard, yet the opponent illing to accept this

Miko's judgement was simple

Request the [Return] of the continentalresources, whichback

what they lost

The initiative ith the opponent, so using a chance to cheat——was very

limited

———but as long as the Werebeasts' rights are guaranteed——

”After the Werebeasts' rights are guaranteed, it is possible to request [Only]

the return of the Werebeasts in the mainland After that, it will turn into a

chance to take back the resources——as expected of Miko-san, how

deplorable”

Sora sh]

(Everything was seen through by this man!)

”Then——this is the world's erous coin, are you ready to start?”

”You really are interestingCan I interrupt your request?”

”That depends on the contents”

”Please swear that you would be kind to Izuna and Ino and everyone else,

since you have our piece”

——indeed, if the Eastern Union and Elchea was to be ed, then the

representative rights of Miko——would automatically transfer to Sora

After that, [Slavery] and [Oppression]

It was equivalent to perishi+ng——that was theof the [Race piece] to

be taken away

Hearing that so, Sora's eyes seeh]

”————You still don't know? Nevermind, okay————[Acciente]”

”[Acciente]——”

Then, the coin toss that probably held the world's highest risk

Began——with the sound co from Sora's hand

Part 3

The audible sound of the coin being tossed resounded after leaving Sora's

hand

The golden Miko's pupil and hair——suddenly dyed red

”——what!?”

nobody on the scene probably knew that Miko's body was originally [Blood

Devastation]

——no, aside froe

going on] looks, everyone was exclai out

(Okay, I'llshow you, what le looks like)

In the scene where blood was flying, Miko's world was slowed down

Her body's nerves swelled, exceeding her five, six senses, she could perceive

ic

——there was a el

But this was not a tingling sensation as froic

Only the Flügel let out elemental particles at that moment,

Which

(But, there ht?)

Miko sain

——following that was the sound of pounding

The increased awareness caused by [Blood Devastation] would incur harm to

herself

Forcefully breaking the physical limits of the five senses——to capture all

movements within a 500 meter radius

It was like an——[Enchantment]

The space within a 500

that exists; fro

hold of everything in her head, that was the degree of how far she had gotten

(There is noarea——as for the coinThere

is no ic reaction?)

Doubts started surfacing in Miko's heart

——Miko's five senses could interpret the floind, the dust in the wind,

even the particles could be read

The turning of the coin did not have any traces of ic on it

But Miko knew that the [Coin was tossed skillfully], and started calculating

If the coin is turning in accordance to what Miko was reading out, then——

142 and 3/4 turns, once it reaches the floor, it would bounce 4 times,

returning after 52 seconds——stopping on [Tails]

The results of the coin toss was easily determined out, a fact that was quite

unbelievable,

(He is looking down on my actions and five sensesWhich is impossible)

After the competition with Izuna, Miko didn't think that this man would

e Werebeasts' five senses

However, since there was no interference, the coin would stop on [Tails]

If Miko answered [Tails], and it wasn't, then it was definitely a cheat which

Miko did not intend to let go

However——Sora's heartbeat, shi+ro's heartbeat, even the reaction ofJibril's

elemental particles, and——

Even Izuna's heartbeat——they believed that Sora would as

going on?

Before the coin hit the floor, heads or tails?

——don't even have to wait

”Tails”

The usage of the exceeded li of the [Blood Devastation]

was almost at the same time

She was different from Izuna Instead of the virtual world, she used [Blood

Devastation] in reality Literally, it was a [Broken Bad blood]————a

strength that sometimes even requires death as a compensation

Ifshe lost even after using that ability

(——it won't be stupid, it would completely be ridiculous)

The coin drew an arc and began to fall

——as long as it was tails it would be Miko's win If it was heads then it

would be a cheat, resulting in Sora's loss

Following that would be to prove how he cheated Sora's chance of winning

was zero

Because of [Blood Devastation], her vision was blurry, but she wouldn't allow

the cheat to pass

The coin started to turn

——landing on the stone slate, it would bounce upon hitting it——

——it didn't bounce

The coin was stuck between two stones——standing still

——————What?

”Ohhh, is this theof a tie!? What an unexpected result eh!!”

Sora announced Aside from Ino, Steph and Miko, everyone else——

Including Izuna whose head was lowered, started laughing

”What a headache, if the coin stood like that, either both sides win or both

side loses, right?”

As if acting, Sora placed a hand on his chin and started thinking He then said:

”If both sides won——that means the request of both sides would pull

through Which ht in, the

Werebeasts' rights would be guaranteed, the autonomy would be maintained,

and there would be a ht”

”Elchea and the Eastern Union would be a [Federalstate] right?”

At ease——to Sora who proposed an alliance while s, Miko was

speechless

——from the start, Miko understood

Sora knew that the stone slate would move, so he deliberately stood there

Then, when the coin was about to fall, the slate——

Was slightly kicked, [Creating a gap], forcing the coin to get stuck in between

the slates

It was clear——to everyone else————that it was a [Cheat]

Co with the [Ten Oaths], it would result in a loss when the cheat was

found out

As long as Miko said that, she would win

But the question she asked herself, didn't allow her to say it out——

”Yo, youIsn't that conditionBetter than my request!”

Indeed, the [Both sides win] Sora raised out

Miko would get benefits better than she requested, while Sora's request was

reduced

No matter how one looked, that kind of cheat, to Miko——to the Eastern

Union, was a more beneficial one

——Because of this, Miko couldn't point out his cheat

She had to see what Sora truly wanted——but Sora happily said:

”Ahh~ as the leader of the Eastern Union, both a sirl, yet

you don't listen to people, what does that mean? Do you want to obtain the

properties of a retarded girl and then become God!?”

——don't listen to people?

Unless I ?

Miko widened her eyes, reviewing all interactive processes thus far

Then she immediately realised it

[The motherland of Kemonomimis!? And a bunch of kemonomimis that are

as cute as Izuna, plus the leader is a beautiful blonde Miko, it definitely is a

cheat race!]

——[Because of that reason]——

”From the start?”

”Eh? What are you talking about? Do you want both sides to win? Or both

sides to lose? Which is good?”

Miko was stunned, but Sora was stillsled his body

(Really, fro in his palmThat

should be it)

Muttering in her heart——Miko knew she didn't have any other choices

The question of [Why], there's probably no one ould ask it Miko

thought while giving a wry smile

(That sort of thingDo you even need to say)

These people——if they wanted to winMiko felt that she couldn't win at

all

”What an eye soreBoth sides win then”

She said while s [Blood Devastation]]

forced her to sit on a nearby rock

”Fufu, hahaha, really, this is really interesting! You guys! Hahahaha!”

Miko placed her hand on her waist, supporting her laughter

What a stupid game

Sotricks

These people played with the Eastern Union, with the Werebeasts——and

even me!

Miko could only laugh at that see method

[Can I trust this ht vanished without a trace

Sora's motive from the start was this, this was his real purpose——it was

clear

That——

(This man didn't even want the Werebeasts' race piece at all)

What that representsThere was only one

This e God

Because of this, she realised

——the race pieceis so that can't be taken away——

Like this——Sora as full ofsmiles stretched his body

”Un~~! Okay, so we'll establish the [Elchea alliance] then, is that okay?”

At this tiave Miko another surprise, her expression as ifshe found

a treasure chest:

”About Elven Gard, we used the Oaths to tamper with the memories So the

inforame content——is all

fabricated”

”Wha————”

Raising his thuue out There was no expression

s

”So, if they challenge, you guys will be the predators——and let them come

Or we can help, don't hesitate to ask for us, we'll definitely win over their

territories!”

——by this time, Steph and Ino finally understood

Kurami and Fii——why they were there in the first place

Monitoring the Eastern Union's cheats, giving an illusion as if they were

working for the elves, and then——attack on their weaknesses

(——the game was calculated——to this point?)

What flashed past Steph's mind was——yes

Sora said these words before coame has yet to end]

”Ah, and then there is Avant Hei power to

ask them to come here, they don't have any malicious intents at all However,

the tinore

themokay——”

Spitting out a series of incredible things, Sora ignored the shocked crowd

He then breathed in deeply and said:

”——Okay——! Is is over? We shall end it here okay?”

Sora said anxiously, and Steph replied:

”Wh,what, why do you have a look of restlessness”

This sentence detonated the bomb

”Huh!? Isn't that obvious? Because of this troubleso I had to do!”

Sora revealed his true thoughts

”I did this so that I could touch the Kemonomimis, I already reached my limits

already! Miko-san!”

”Eh? Hmm? What?”

”Letyou!”

”Let me touch——”

Sora and shi+ro used their light e eyes to look at Miko

But Miko gave a beautifulsmile in response

”As long as I give the consent, and there is no haro ahead

——I jump”

”Wh——what——!?”

”If you had known it earlier, you should have added a [Rights to touch]

condition to the coin tossFor now, if you want to touch me, then you must

fight me one more time!”

MIko s Sora to ask

anxiously:

”——guuu~uhh~! Jibril, what's the time now?”

”Erht”

Can't, there won't be any tiame

”damn, can't help it! We will make do with the Kemonomimis on the streets

shi+ro!”

”GoldenFoxrub!”

shi+ro stretched her hand out, unable to leave Miko Sora had to pull her

away

”Relax, shi+ro, on't give up! We'll definitely come back for the federal

affairs——no, to decide on is! Miko-san——you better keep

that neck, ears and tails of yours cleaned before we come back!!”

Sora announced while pointing at Miko shi+ro agreed to Sora's words

shi+ro's eyes had a sharp glint, following Sora's forefinger

”PrepareDefinitelyTouch you!”

After that, Sora picked up shi+ro and bolted out, briefly leaving some words

behind:

”Ah, Steph, before we satisfy ourselves and return, we'll leave the country

affairs to you!”

”Eh?”

Sora hurriedly exclaimed and left abruptly Jibril didn't hesistate to follow him,

causing Steph to chase after Sora panickingly

”Eh, you are lying right? This is a joke right!? I' our

country affairs, and now there is another federalstate affair? Are you really

going to throw all of that to me?! Oi!!”

Then——like a storarden

Izuna kept glancing at Sora and shi+ro's gradually fading figures

With silence covering the garden and Miko whose calmness was restored, a

ringing sound resounded forward

”Hatsuse Ino, Hatsuse Izuna”

”Ye, yes!”

”What, des!”

”Izuna, what did I say!”

”Since both parties have accepted the conditions——your rights are also

freed”

——yes, the guarantee to Werebeasts' rights

Since Sora agreed to the request, both of the to Elchea

anymore, but——

”——as the sole representative of the Werebeasts, I order you as [Miko], to

follow those people”

”Roger, des!”

After Miko finished her words, Izuna i her fastest speed

to chase after Sora

On the other handIno thought, if they were to be spies?

”Go ahead and learn fro people, learn the [Methods of the

weak], and then”

Miko smiled happily from the bottom of her heart and said:

”Don't ever let those siblings become our enemy”

——as declared by Sora, they would come back a few days later to settle

the [Federation]

Undoubtedly, they would use that tie and obtain

the alliance rights

And undoubtedly——she would lose Having those kind of thoughts caused

Miko to laugh bitterly

”This is the first tiht——”

Her expression showed that in her lifetime, she had never been this happy

With her heart juures of Sora and

co:

”——defeat God”

Part 4

To Sora and shi+ro, this was a road that had a sense of nostalgia and an

antique kind of feel

Red neon lights shone on the street——

”Sora-san”

”Ahhh!? Oldto interfere with our [Road of touch]!”

Slower than Izuna by one step, Ino caught up and immediately found them

touching girls, stunning him speechless

”Your actions are really frightening, I suppose you sought consent right?”

”Un? Ah~ I don't knohy, but when Izuna said out [Their stroking skills

are super good, des], they instantly allowed us to touch, why is that so?”

Seeing those keht:

——I know the reason

Because in the past, there was no one who could satisfy Izuna with their

stroking techniques

In the Eastern Union embassy, Izuna actually said it was [Comfortable]——

”No, I'”

Telling thee him, so Ino switched back to

the original question

”Ahh, okay, cut it short, we are in a hurry”

With his hands still unwavering, Sora replied:

”If Miko-sae——ould you do?”

——that was the only question that was still unresolved in Ino's heart

Even when she was cornered, Miko would easily take on the initiative herself,

which Ino thought was unacceptable

——Go ahead and learn, learn the [Methods of the weak]

Miko's words flashed past his mind

Ino finally saw it, the [Method that ensures no one dies] Sora told Izuna

But seeing how Sora prepared to that kind of extent, Ino couldn't help but

doubt

Unfortunately, he couldn't fully co behind Sora's

actions

But Sora casually answered his questions

”Until then——I just have to use the final harassment method I've prepared”

That is——

”——I just have to tell Avant Heiame”

———hearing these words, Ino's face was frozen

”I'll use Kuramifor Elven Gard, and Jibrilfor Avant Heim [Let them do the

], which would definitely cause severe harm to the Eastern

Union So I wouldn't want to do it”

And——he continued saying:

”Because I've predicted that step, everything with the shoith

Miko”

——indeed, if the assumption that Sora was from Elven Gard that Miko

pointed out was true, then it would be the worst case for the Eastern Union

Before that, ifshe couldn't get back the territoriesthen they would really be

cornered

”I say gramps, do you knohat [Checkmate] means?”

”Checkmate and check is different——it means [Certain death]”

Then he started s

”From the first day I saw you, didn't I say that whatever you guys do, would

be useless?”

Ino started recalling that day, that day when Sora betted up the Imanity piece

”Checkmate——eh”

——yes, everything

Everything was over starting from that day

(——Miko-sama, you want me to believe in this man?)

Indeed, this ave a favourable benefit to the Werebeasts

However, he did this so easily and beautifully

(Won't that meanHe could betray us that easily too?)

Ino started having those kinds of doubts, but Sora suddenly had a serious

expression

He said while stroking the rabbit-eared girl:

”Okay, although I'm reluctant, we have to find a place to stay”

”ByeRabbit-eared”

The rabbit-eared girl had a sad expression as she left

”Okay, Izuna-chan, is there any place we can stay for the night?”

”? My house would do, des”

”Overnight eventHere we come”

”There aht!”

”Of course, des! We'll have a shon, des?”

”Of course! We'll play until o roam the streets

again! Ah, Izuna-chan, does your country have any electronic games, unless

they even have adult——”

”Nii”

”What! It won't be a probleht!?”

Fro people

”I, I finally caught up! Yo, you twoWhy are the kings not in their country

——”

Obviously the first to chase, yet abandoned by everyone was Steph She

breathlessly caught, but Sora——

”Jibril! Bring Steph back to Elchea! And then you can come back!”

”Yes, sir”

Jibril gently held onto Steph's shoulder

Believing that she was too powerless to resist, Steph paled

”Ah, bring gramps over too! It would be hard on Steph alone”

This caused Ino to be livid with anger

”Wh——yo, you have to ain!?”

”That's not the proble——”

”Okay then, please letCity okay?”

Leaving behind these words, a surge of as created due to their

disappearance

FinallySighing, Sora——seemed to be really tired

”A little break, should be okay”

”(nods nods)”

Okay, Sora cheerfully said:

”Then we'll tedom of the Kemonomimis!”

————

Steph and Ino who got abandoned at Elchea King City

There were so s to think about that Steph didn't want to think

anymore Sora's words suddenly appeared

”No one would dieThis is just a game after all”

Steph previously thought that Sora was insane for saying those words, but

after reflecting, she thought:

He said he wanted to conquer this worldHe said that we did so

wrong

From the Eastern Union, it was obvious that no one received any harm

——unless he really wants to conquer this world without any bloodshed?

Let the whole of Exceed to coexist——and challenge God?

The tenth of the [Ten Oaths]

——Everyone should have fun while playing——

”Th, that bonehead——no, that co man, next time I see him, he

better be careful!!”

Holding down his ears while rolling on the ground, Ino said Upon seeing him,

Steph whispered;

”You'll get used to it soon”

That sentence brought back a lot of memories

Ino then replied to Steph:

”We must work hard, Stephanie-san”

”Yea, we have to endure this, Ino-jii-san”

Now, this place, quietlyA fraternity between Sora's victiradually

formed
